State Senator honors IE legal aid nonprofit

State Sen. Sabrina Cervantes (D-Riverside) named Inland Counties Legal Services a California Nonprofit of the Year.

The nonprofit, founded in 1958, provides legal services to low-income IE residents in the fields of housing, public benefits, family law, consumer debt, health care and small business.

“Through tireless legal advocacy and services, Inland Counties Legal Services has gone above and beyond to work toward the betterment of the Inland Empire community,” said Cervantes.

ICLS Executive Director Tessie Solorzano thanked Cervantes for the award.

“Legal aid is absolutely critical for the wellbeing of our communities. Without legal representation, it’s difficult for folks to navigate complex civil court proceedings,” said Solorzano.

The California Nonprofit of the Year program has honored 1,009 nonprofits since it started in 2015. Cervantes has in the past honored the Adrian Dell & Carmen Roberts Foundation, The Leela Project, Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center, Reaching New Heights Foundation Inc., Peppermint Ridge and Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center.
